Billionaire donors who helped fuel Nikki Haley's rise to a third place finish in Iowa and second in New Hampshire are pulling back from her effort to go one-on-one against Donald Trump in South Carolina.
LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, who has helped bankroll Democrats and cut big checks to Biden's reelection effort, but also gave $250,000 to a super PAC backing Haley.
Also bailing out is metal magnate Andy Sabin, who told Fox Business host Neil Cavuto he was ready to 'walk away' from Haley. He had contributed $1.7 million to GOP campaigns over three cycles.
'Haley needs to drop out,' he said. 'Regardless of what anyone tells you, her money is going to dry up. Why would you fund someone who you know has no chance?'...
Sabin said he would be 'the first person to write her a check for president in 2028,' but said the New Hampshire results make clear her candidacy is soon over.
'You have to know when to hold them. You got to know when to fold them. You got to know when to walk away. It’s time for Nikki Haley to walk away,' he said.
Hoffman spelled out his reasons for backing Haley on his LinkedIn page, amid attacks on her for taking money from Democrats. 'Nikki Haley would not be as good for America as Joe Biden, but America would survive her administration,' he wrote....
Dmitri Mehlhorn, a Hoffman adviser, told Reuters that 'The only way I can see (a path) happening is if Trump has a "senior moment," and she's able to exploit it to persuade GOP voters that he's lost it.'

...and look stupid doing it.
Unless she becomes another CNN you know what and decides she likes the attention more than anything.
And Democrat money.
She’s toxic.
The polls in SC are like 70 and 20....and she's not the 70.
Good move, Don.....your campaign blacklisting all donors to Haley.
She’s still running just to make Trump have to spend money on the primary.
So Big War Bucks can finally stop, as they have what they want.

Big Mike, The MSM, Big Tech, Big Banks, WEF, WHO, etc . . .
Wanna bet we’re gonna kick the ever lovin’ patookies out of those basetards?
And when we do, Do Not Ever Forget what they did to you, your family, your business, your neighbors, and your country.
Act appropriately, and bring plenty of rope.
It’s gonna be Glorious!
I guess the Boeing and corporate board honey pot runs dry when you have nothing to give anymore nor the prospect of that. A normal person would be ashamed to learn she had been no more than a prostitute and only a politician would do it knowing they are.
How sweet it is.
How many guys is it up to now that she was banging when her husband was deployed?
She knows she can’t win, but she’ll stay in as long as the money keeps pouring in, which it will for a few more weeks from large Democratic donors.
She’ll make bank then drop out.
Operation Chaos isn’t going to work against the GOP this time. The Dems have decided to have it out with Trump, which means either they are sure they can fix the election, or they are sure they can off Biden and run whoever wins in the focus groups, or both.
Trump doesn't have to spend money to beat her in the remaining primaries.
What a complete waste of stupid money
Nikki Haley needs to get off the stage before she becomes a MSNBC or CNN flunkie... those folks dump conservatives turncoats as soon as their hate stops simmering. Just ask those idiots Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney.
I hope you’re right… but I think you’re wrong…. pretty sure she is getting paid somehow to stay on as a spoiler to hurt Trump.
The Uniparty is using her to draw delegates away from Trump - and it’s working.
In NH the delegate split was 10-12 so she got nearly half.. but 7 of her 10 delegates were a gift from Democrats - people who intend on voting for Biden in the fall, but crossed over to vote for Haley in order to steal delegates from Trump.
The plan is to weaken Trump and she is being used (probably being well paid) to execute this plan.
If so, she won’t drop out.
It will cost her a billion dollars to run a reasonable nationwide campaign against President Trump in the upcoming primaries.
She either gets the money she needs—mostly from fatcat Democratic donors—or she does not.
Her next big fundraiser is on January 30. If there are a bunch of no shows her show could be over right then.
Money talks.
Everybody else walks.
